The prescription history was derived from the Department’s Prescription Monitoring Program and, unfortunately, contained inaccurate information as a result of certain errors made by pharmacists. …

“This error in the Department’s Prescription Monitoring Program has caused undue confusion and consternation among Dr. Photopoulos’ patients and colleagues. When issuing a summary suspension of controlled substances registration, the Department attempts to make sure that it relies on identifiable facts.
